With your permission...

Ever since I started playing EB a couple of months back, I was determined to write an AAR, but thanks to my incapacity to take screenshots and the unreliability of my computer, this didn't work out so well. In fact, Rome: Total War doesn't work out so well on my computer. But I still have this urge to write an AAR!

So, what I am asking for permission from the heads of this forum is could I write a so to speak story that is based off events in my EB campaigns? Would this thread be acceptable in the EB general forum? It would incorporate units/factions/wars that occur/appear in EB, so it wouldn't be an irrelevant load of horse****.

Thanks

Are you saying that you're writing a STORY thats not directly related to EB(gameplay and screenshots), but its timeline?

Sounds good.

[DeathEmperor]

Yeah that sounds great to me :yes:

I'm an amateur writer myself so most of the stories I make that are based on EB are more along the lines of a novel with only a few screenshots.

I see no problem with it as long as there isn't anything too sensational in it like invincible RTW vanilla cataphracts or *gasp* flaming pigs! j/k :clown:

[Owen the Mighty]

Yes, something like that, but also from the point of view of a fictional character who would be apart of major events in one of my previous campaigns (haven't decided which one yet...)

[Owen the Mighty]

Alright then, I'm in the clear! I'll start writting this saga in another thread. Thanks!

Sure, any sorts of AAR's are fine as long as they are from/basedon EB - just put it in the Gameplay guide subforum here though.

It might be that you have anti-aliasing enabled that prevents screenshots being taken (if you take them and all you get is the "blackness of nothing"). I think it might be a graphics card thing that causes that... not sure.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Definitely depends on your GFX card. I've AA quality on the highest level; and my screenshots turn out just fine. There's only this one weird sort of crops grown in the desert which invariably reflects the sky... :inquisitive:

Looks really odd when you've got your cavalry standing on a neat rectangular field which is mirroring the sky...

[Owen the Mighty]

Hm.....I believe the problem on my computer is simply that it is old, bugged, and filthy with viruses. So I'll just write this pseudo-AAR story for the time being, and when I get a new computer (which is very soon), I'll write up a true AAR.....maybe for the Seleucids...or the Macedonians....or.....hm....

Thanks for the help anyways.
